could i pour in a small amount of hot milk and use the plunger to make it frothy?

I don't think so. The straining screen fits too tightly against the wall of the cup to function as an effective plunger.

Never tried it, but I honestly doubt it. Don't think it's engineered for that.

I don't know why you couldn't - the temperature wouldn't be an issue. You would have scalded and cooled the milk already before adding the starter.

You can use water, milk or a combination. I use a little water to dissolve the mix and fill my cup slightly (allowing me to use a little less milk to cut calories) then add my hot frothed milk.

The best advice I can give is to push the spring loaded plunger on the milk frother with a toothpick and make sure it moves freely. It not a bad idea to take it apart (the frother) and clean all the parts once a week or so.. However once the pressure release valve on the side goes bad there's nothing you can do as I have not been able to find replacement parts. Had to throw mine away

Yes. The machine can froth the milk, but you will have to have some skills that take practice. Chill the metal pitcher first. Do not scald the milk, and use only low fat milk. Getting the milk stiff without scalding is the skill that takes practice. I make latte several times a week, but I don't fuss with the fancy cream decorations.

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

I'm sure you can, but I'd make sure you clean it well afterwards. They make a frothed that I think might serve you better with milk.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

Use very cold milk and make sure the frother machine is not warm to the touch. Also try 2% or 1% milk.

If you pour it slowly, the froth will remain in the jug so you can add the froth at the end. But remember to do it very slowly.

I don't know about milk from milk powder but I do know you can froth skim milk. I would guess you could froth milk from milk powder as well. I warm my creamer in a mug in the microwave and froth before adding it to my coffee. It's great.

It certainly would aerate it and make it lighter but not sure how much froth. If the mixture could be frothed with your electric beater it would with the frother as well! Picture it as a very mini liquid beater. Hope this helps.

I used creamer but not that much. It turns into more froth that you'd expect

I haven't fully disassembled mine, but have found the movement range of the plunger sufficient to thoroughly clean it. If you put milk in your tea/coffee, you might want to soak it, just to be sure.

I worked at a coffee house part time a few years back. We would steam froth the milk in a metal jug then spoon out the froth into the drink when it called for froth only. I can't imagine that you couldn't do it the same way.

The smallest amount would probably be around 1oz of liquid. You want to make sure that the liquid level is above the froth mixer.

If you take the valve out, no...but if you leave the valve in place, then there would be milk in the spout between the valve and the end of the spout. You could always pour it out.
